Pippa the pied wagtail bird knit kit

I love pied wagtails, with their smart black and white plumage, and of course their unmistakable wagging tails! Equally at home on the city pavements, or in the countryside, Pippa the pied wagtail is ready to hop into your hand to say hello.

Each wagtail knitting kit is carefully handmade and packed by me, and will contain all the yarn and notions that you need to knit Pippa – No need to order all the different yarns and bits and pieces – you can sit back, relax, and start knitting straight away. It's all there for you!

If you'd like to add needles to your kit, a pair of high quality 4mm Pony aluminium knitting needles are £2, and a pack of 2 Pony darning needles are £1. 

Your pied wagtail knitting kit is presented in a large, stylish gift box, and bundled up in plastic-free, recyclable packaging. This bird knit kit is the perfect, original gift for a knitter, bird lover, or pied wagtail fan - they'll love knitting Pippa, and the kit includes some little bird stickers for them to enjoy, too!

Is Pippa suitable for beginners?

Yes, Pippa is a great project for a beginner with knowledge of basic knitting skills. She is simply knitted flat, making her a relaxing project for a beginner: no need to knit in the round. 

Basic knitting skills that you need to know:

Stocking stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1) and decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog), and colour changing mid-row. Head on over to my how to knit tutorials if you need any advice!

What's included in your knit kit?

• A full colour printed knitting pattern
• 2 different colours of high quality, soft DK acrylic yarn
• Polyester toy stuffing 
• Black beads and thread
• A pipe cleaner
• Cute bird stickers

All kit and parcel packaging is plastic-free, and recyclable.

The gift box measures 28cm x 19cm x 8cm.

Pippa the piped wagtail is 20cm from beak to tail. She contains a pipe cleaner in her tail, making it poseable, so please be aware that this makes her not suitable for children.
